Hi!
You cannot override the 'amount' of a button by adding the appropriate HTML-tag because that would defeat the addded security of a hosted button.
If you're using a 'hosted button' (the details of the button are stored with PayPal) you'll need to modify the button through the button creation tool.
Simply navigate to Profile > My selling preferences > Manage my payment buttons > Update and click 'Action' > 'Edit' for whichever button you want to update.
You can update the amount in the appropriate field in Step 1 of the button creation tool.
